Currently Reading: Breasts and Eggs by Mieko Kawakami
Genre: Contemporary, Japanese Literature
Currently reading this book as a part of Women in Translation month. It is extremely detailed, rich and well researched by the author. The writing is commendable. The plot is still unfolding but I am really loving it so far.
Recently Read: My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite
A fast- paced, gripping book with very short chapters. It is more about family loyalty, sisterly rivalry and love triangle rather than a usual thriller. Touching upon various stereotypes based on appearance and parental abuse, this book is jam packed with quality content. If you have an appetite for something different you can surely pick this up. I rated it 3.5 stars. Here is my review.
Next Read: Undecided
After the taste of Japanese literature, I am still not sure which book I would want to pick up. Most probably, I might decide between The Boy in Striped Pyjamas and The Book Thief as they have been sitting on my shelf for quite some time now. Help me pick my next read. Please mention in comments which one should I read.
Happy Reading,
Mini
